I charged mine yesterday and disconnected it before bed. I'm running it today to see what I get. So far I'm happy but I haven't used it much today.

I thought I was the only one confusedI'm really confused, how is that good battery life? You're on wifi, the phone has been on for only about 6 hours, and you've only used the screen for 40 something minutes, and the battery is at half....or am I misreading something?

It's a vast improvement for me coming from a galaxy ace, I didn't realize that people expected more battery life from a phone with a quad core cpu hiding inside it?
EDIT: I was actually streaming spotify over hspa+ for around 20 mins too while I was in the car
Good battery life in this day and age is:
5 hours of screen on time on mobile data
and 6 or more on WIFI.
At best it seems the nexus can yield 3 1/2 to 4 hours of screen on time on mobile data, and about 5 on wifi. Some people get more, some people get less, but that's about the average I'd say. And that's just okay battery life in 2013. We really should be getting more.
What phones do you know that get that kind of battery life consistently? Sure, a phablet like the Note II. Other than that? Maybe 2 phones. And you say in this day and age, what recent phone gets that without some sort of modification or luck? Possibly the GS3, but I dont think that battery life you posted is a standard yet. I get around the same battery life as the OP. I have no clue how you guys can pull off more than 3hrs screen on time consistently. I believe the avg screen on time a phone has these days is in the 2.5 area. Anything more than 3.5, or 4 without any modifications to the OS (like rooting and flashing ROMs/Kernels) would be a miracle.
I had the same issue too before. Used to get about 2.5 hrs of screen time but that could have been because I would mostly stay on HSPA. Now I use wifi for heavy data streaming(like youtube, pandora, flipboard) and I have gotten better. Also I ran a battery test from GL benchmark 2.5 and since then the battery has drastically improved. After the test and using wifi, now I get 4+ hours of screen time. Don't know if the battery test actually helped or is a coincidence but I am happy to see my battery life improve. Hope yours get better too soon.
I am getting exactly this. I think that when we get the next update battery will improve again.Good battery life in this day and age is:

Here are some updated screenshots of my battery usage. I still maintain the battery life is good on this phone!
